The Crazy Candy Bouquet Lady

Seriously, though, someone saw the one I'd made for Mary (look a few posts back) and asked my husband if I already had any made up. I didn't, but he checked with me, then told this person I'd be happy to make one....so I got my first real order! (Finished project pictured above.) What's so hilarious is I didn't set out to start selling these things!

I also included that adorable little "M & M" tag with the bouquet. It's just scrapbook paper applied to a plain old white tag. I added a "For You" label I'd made with my handy dandy label maker. (I LOVE my little label maker!)

The first picture shows a candy bouquet given as a "Sweet 16" gift for one of my daughter Taylor's friends. Taylor said her friend LOVED it, as well as other people at the party. I was really glad to hear that :) I later found out the birthday girl's grandma wants to order one!

The Good Times

From now on, I am going to grab the good times with both arms. I am going to walk outside and feel the sun on my face and learn to laugh, really laugh again. Most of all, I'm going to take the love that comes my way and hold on to it for dear life. Sometimes we don't need new scenery, just new eyes. ~Dawn Miller

Be An Encourager!

A smile of encouragement at the right moment may act like sunlight on a closed-up flower; it may be the turning point for a struggling life. ~Author Unknown

"Measuring A Life"

My deeds will be measured not by my youthful appearance... but by the concern lines on my forehead...
The laugh lines around my mouth...
and the chins from seeing what can be done
for those smaller than me or who have fallen.

I Am A Pink Warrior!

I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in July 2008. Since that time I've had a double mastectomy, reconstruction, chemo, radiation and several other surgeries. Fast forward a year...it's now July 2009 and I'm all done with treatment. My hair has grown back, I'm feeling great! GOD is good and life is good! I've gotten loads of support from family and friends. I'm living a "NEW NORMAL" these days and just very thankful to be here!!! Always keep a positive attitude and don't pass up an opportunity to show love and kindness to others. Don't live your life with regrets and enjoy each day!

About Me

Hello there ~ welcome to my blog! My name is Michelle. I've been married to a great guy for 20 years and we've been very blessed with 3 cool kids - a boy & 2 girls. My family means everything to me and I try to make our home a wonderful place to be. I LOVE to decorate and work on "trash to treasure" projects ~ that's what I can be found doing most of the time (um, sometimes other than what I'm SUPPOSED to be doing...like laundry, for instance! LOL) I think laughter is a vital part of life so I always try to choose to look at the humorous side of things...if life throws lemons your way, why not make lemonade, right?!
